Oddsparks: An Automation Adventure Steam Charts & Stats

Had a blast so far, im just waiting for 1.0 now to try out all the new features and endgame!

This game is so calm and cute. It's still in development, so you can expect some bugs an deficiencies, but it's worth it (I played 80hs in a couple of weeks). The biomes are diverse and the difficulty escalates fairly. Can't wait to see what's coming ♥

Really really smart mixup on automation games, I love all the puzzles this game has to offer. Great polish, too!

Absolutely phenomenal factory game! This is the only factory game I've played that has kept me wanting to play more consistently. 10/10 would recommend!

I have spent over 50 hours playing and this is automation heaven. It paces progress carefully and if you want you can speed ahead or if you are feeling more casual you can spend time with very complex development via switches, gates, etc. The game is also very cute, which I really appreciate. It is not very buggy at all and works great on Ubuntu. Not a lot of story, but instead an awesome amount of automation. Great work Massive Miniteam, this is my favorite game this year.

This game is SO fun! It's got so much charm but it's still a really interesting and deep management game. Really looking forward to 1.0.

A different take when it comes to automation games but was able to make it work. Polished gameplay and constantly receiving updates, the way early access should be.

Other automation games just didn't hit with me and I almost skipped this one. So glad I didn't! Love the graphics, love the gameplay and as they continue to develop the game it's becoming more and more complex but the learning curve is soft and not an exercise in frustration. I'm over 100 hrs in and looking forward to the next content release. highly recommended

One of the BEST E. A. Automation games - No bugs after 300 h - There are so many ways to play it and to play it a little better next time. The goal of this game is to develop mindfulness, awareness, and problem-solving/coping skills. AND good News - V1.0 is on the way with more SPARKS - they are so beautiful to watch . It's not the same like Satisfactory, or Captain of Industry It has his own very unique system! It's Easy with a build in wiki and you can take your time to semi automate your goals to finish Fire & Ice OR play Hard and try to fully automate everything with logic and trains. My easy build was 90+ hours and the fully automated - I can Only Imagine - idk yet. I will wait for the full release and will spend another 300+ hours. Satisfactory was good enough for 1800+ hours. The chances near 100% that the game will quickly become all about recovery from Satisfactory and waiting for V1.0. Thank you Game Makers for good games without milking our wallets with endless DLC's SOMETIMES TALK to MYSELF. THEN WE BOTH LAUGH AND LAUGH

Hey, you're a person of taste and discernment. I can just tell. And you must have liked Pikmin, if you played it. And this game is basically Pikmin falling into a vat of Satisfactory. And that, my friend of good taste, is a fine thing. You don't know what Pikmin is? You're still cool with me, let me explain. Pikmin is this game where you control an army of these little guys. They follow you around, and you get things done by throwing your little fellas at whatever-it-is. Need that big heavy thing moved? Need that monster slapped around? Your Pikmin are glad to do it, and they do it with cute little high-pitched yeeps. They make terrifically cute noises and make my wife's toes curl. She can't get enough of it. This game is no different. Your little dudes, called Sparks here, will clear out rocks and twigs, pick up loose items on the ground, and of course they'll slap up monsters for you. The key difference is if you want more Sparks (because like Pikmin, they can get killed) you have to manufacture them yourself, Satisfactory style. You will create buildings, you'll set up little mines or lumber yards, or just harvest stuff over the game's map. You'll put them into factory lines, but instead of conveyor belts, you have more of your little minions running along roads you've laid down, hauling things to and fro. You do need to manage traffic because the little guys aren't very bright and will get gridlocked if you have too many on a road. The enemies are sort of cute in a weird way. Things like "spunnies", which are spider and rabbit hybrids (not sure how that works), "beelephants", which are bee... elephants. Some kind of squid/pelican hybrid whose name I forgot... a squilican? A frog-owl hybrid called a frowl. You get the idea, I hope. They have attacks with patterns, and intelligently ordering attacks and retreats are how you can best them without taking too many casualties in your Sparks army. So there's a lot of Pikmin, with cute li'l dudes, and there's a lot of Satisfactory, where you're exploring a somewhat hostile world, building up factories to grab new resources, and using them to manufacture items to further help unlock more tech. AND it's coop, by the way. There's quite a lot of things to do in the game, so being able to divide-and-conquer really helps reduce the workload. Your map and quests are shared, so if one person explores the other gets the expanded map too. It's great. My wife and I have a bit of a sprawling complex going, which will only get sprawlier over time. To be fair, we've been playing this off-camera as our own private entertainment, though I could be convinced to stream it in the fullness of time. I'm surely streaming something though. I put it down here because I like people who like to read my rambles. You're my kind of person. https://www.twitch.tv/fdejeuner. Check out my schedule, I adhere to it quite firly. And, uhh, thumbs up to this game. I love it, macho as I am.
